| [00:08.24] |
But the land was already claimed by a people |
| [00:10.62] |
When the cowboy came and when the soldiers came |
| [00:15.23] |
The story of the American Indian is in a lot of ways |
| [00:19.98] |
A story of tragedy like that day at Wounded Knee South Dakota |
| [00:33.90] |
Big Foot was an Indian chief |
| [00:35.72] |
Of the Minneconjou band |
| [00:38.85] |
A band of Minneconjou Sioux |
| [00:41.23] |
From South Dakota land |
| [00:42.81] |
Big Foot said to Custer |
| [00:45.68] |
'Stay away from Crazy Horse' |
| [00:48.92] |
But Custer crossed into Sioux land |
| [00:51.29] |
And he never came back across |
| [00:54.13] |
Then Big Foot led his people |
| [00:56.52] |
To a place called Wounded Knee |
| [00:59.00] |
And they found themselves surrounded |
| [01:01.59] |
By the 7th Cavalry |
| [01:06.39] |
Big chief Big Foot |
| [01:08.47] |
Rise up from your bed |
| [01:11.14] |
Minneconjou babies cry |
| [01:13.47] |
For their mothers lying dead |
| [01:16.40] |
Big Foot was down with a fever |
| [01:19.99] |
When he reached Wounded Knee |
| [01:22.93] |
And his people all were prisoners |
| [01:25.26] |
Of the 7th Cavalry |
| [01:28.10] |
Two hundred women and children |
| [01:30.40] |
And another hundred men |
| [01:33.75] |
Raised up a white flag of peace |
| [01:36.58] |
But peace did not begin |
| [01:38.81] |
An accidental gunshot |
| [01:41.29] |
And Big Foot was first to die |
| [01:43.51] |
And over the noise of the rifles |
| [01:46.55] |
You could hear the babies cry |
| [01:48.97] |
Big chief Big Foot |
| [01:53.18] |
It's good that you can't see |
| [01:55.81] |
Revenge is being wrought |
| [01:58.23] |
By Custer's 7th Cavalry |
| [02:00.86] |
Then smoke hung over the canyon |
| [02:04.90] |
On that cold December day |
| [02:07.68] |
All was death and dying |
| [02:10.46] |
Around where Big Foot lay |
| [02:13.16] |
Farther on up the canyon |
| [02:15.64] |
Some had tried to run and hide |
| [02:18.01] |
But death showed no favorites |
| [02:20.85] |
Women men and children died |
| [02:23.32] |
One side called it a massacre |
| [02:26.10] |
The other a victory |
| [02:28.59] |
But the white flag is still waving |
| [02:31.24] |
Today at Wounded Knee |
| [02:34.14] |
Big chief Big Foot |
| [02:38.11] |
Your Minneconjou band |
| [02:40.50] |
Is more than remembered here |
| [02:43.08] |
In South Dakota land |
| [02:47.02] |
Big chief Big Foot |
| [02:48.48] |
Your Minneconjou band |
| [02:51.02] |
Is more than remembered here |
| [02:53.96] |
In South Dakota land |
